Sabuurradii 61

1 Ilaahow, qayladayda maqal, Oo baryadaydana dhegta u dhig.

God, listen to me, and answer my prayer [DOU]!

2 Markii qalbigaygu itaal darnaado, waxaan kaaga qayshan doonaa darafka dhulka ugu shisheeya, Ii hoggaami dhagaxa iga dheer.

While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to [the place that is like] a high rock [MET] on top of which I will be safe.

3 Waayo, waxaad ii ahayd magangal, Iyo qalcad adag oo aan cadowga ka galo.

You have been my refuge; you have been [like] a strong tower [MET] [in which I am safe] from being attacked by my enemies.

4 Anigu weligayba waxaan degganaan doonaa taambuuggaaga, Oo waxaan magangeli doonaa baalashaada meeshooda qarsoon. (Selaah)

Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life [HYP]! Allow me to be safe [MET], [like a little bird is safe] under [its mother’s] wings.

5 Waayo, Ilaahow, nidarradaydii waad maqashay, Oo waxaad i siisay kuwa magacaaga ka cabsada dhaxalkooda.

God, you heard me when I solemnly promised [to give offerings to you]; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you [MTY].

6 Boqorka noloshiisa waad dheeraynaysaa, Oo cimrigiisuna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida qarniyo badan.

[I am] the king [of Israel]; [please] allow me to live [and rule] for many years, and allow my descendants to rule [also].

7 Oo weligiisba wuxuu joogi doonaa Ilaah hortiisa, Raxmad iyo run u diyaari, inay isaga dhawraan.

Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.

8 Markaasaan weligayba magacaaga ammaan ugu gabyi doonaa, Si aan maalin kasta nidarradayda u oofiyo.

If you do that, I will always sing to praise you [MTY] while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.
